Topic: 1004 AV Wizard 1080p not working (Read 2261 times)

tested 1004. I could not setup 1080p 50hz in AV wizard on my MD. On the first boot 1080p did not work at all. Probably soemthing with the Nvidia driver beeing updated? (does it reboot after that? I did not stay with the screen all the time). I did then setup 720p and that worked.On the second boot where i activated the AV wizard again from within advanced setings I could choose 1080p and it showed something, but I assume it used 720p size as the AV wizard was not completely shown a part of it was outside the "TV screen". this time I also tried 24 and 60hz, but the did not work in 1080p either.

Yes, that is enough. You should not be able to get the info on the MD directly... you cannot log in.

Well... I guess you could open desktop and open a terminal...

Please ssh into the MD's /etc/X11 directory, rm xorg.conf and xorg.conf.pluto.avwizard, then reboot. It should be reading this data and creating a modline that works. Thanks. We will get it figured out.

I don't think you understand what I am saying. The code to create the modelines between 810/1004 is not different. If it worked in 810 it should be working here. We create modelines whether or not we can read EDID, we have a scheme which makes an educated guess if that is the case, based on what you enter.

However, you are generating EDID, and it looks right... so something ELSE is wrong... because it should be spot on.

I understand that yours is working. Everyone elses works without doing what you did, so what I want you to do is backup your configuration that is working, and remove those two files and reboot. This will take you into AVWizard again fresh, and attempt to create it all the right way from scratch. I am trying to see if it will not generate correctly, or something else has changed.

Ok... I looked up your tv. Its weird. It has some bizarre motionview thing.

Please try it at 100hz on 1080p. That is what it asks for by spec.

Hmm, I have not tried it yet, but I am pretty sure it will not work. Does the AV wizard support 100hz?

The TV is quite old now >4 years, so at that time 100hz was pretty new. And I am sure that there was no 1080p 100hz input out there... maybe today?I am pretty sure that 100Hz TVs don't accept a 100Hz input. Instead they interpolate intermediate frames to effectively double a 50Hz input to 100Hz.

The motionview is doing that. Making the picture less "flimmering". I have earlier tried disabling it, but then the picture is worse as it flimmers/stutters more. Today i think they are doing the same at 400-800 hz.Here a cut from a website :

"MotionFlow system doubles the PAL refresh rate and interpolates new intermediate frames of image data to make motion look more fluid and clear."

And I am pretty sure it will not create any tearing ;-) as I had that also with my old 0810 system and fixed it also there with settings in xorg.conf (see other thread compositing).
